About this Event
Details
Trek Overview: This is a classic cliff-top walk – one of the finest coastal walks in England – affording stunning (and very famous) views of the white cliffs of Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters, starting from the seaside town of Seaford before ending in Eastbourne.
Difficulty level: This is a strenuous and 'good paced' walk. Apart from the start, finish and a short section around Cuckmere Haven, almost none of it is flat, and there are several steep climbs. It is a long, though relatively gradual, climb up to Beachy Head, the very scenic section between Birling Gap and Cuckmere Haven, in particular, is a series of steep ascents and descents.
Length: 21km (13.1 miles)
Duration: Approximately 6 hours walking + 1.5 hours break
Start: 10am Seaford Station. Please have your cars parked and ready for introductions by then.
Finish: Eastbourne Station
Waymarks: Seaford Beach – Hope Gap – Coastguard Cottages – Cuckmere Haven – Cuckmere Inn – Seven Sisters Country Park – Birling Gap – Belle Tout Lighthouse – Beachy Head Lighthouse – Beachy Head Pub – Eastbourne Seaside Promenade – Eastbourne
You are advised to take care near the cliff edges on this walk, as they are crumbly and liable to collapse. the official advice is to keep 5 metres from any cliff edge
